[00:07] Stemming78: probably a line ending conflict.. [00:20] I need some help installing Mythbuntu. It seems that it cannot configure my graphics card and is hanging. [00:29] whats the best place to put irxevent to start it on boot? [00:51] Anyone have a an lrcrc configured for playing videos (xine, vlc)? Need to set one up. [00:51] *willing to share [00:52] Stemming78: mythbuntu-lirc-generator can do that [00:54] I did and for some reason those were not configured.... [00:54] Stemming78: mythbuntu-lirc-generator --help ? [00:55] command not found; tried different variations... Might not be an option. [00:56] mythbuntu-lircrc-generator [00:56] rhpot1991: mythbuntu-lirc-generator --help Dont think that is a valid command [00:57] lircrc, not lirc [00:57] both seem to work here? [00:57] ahh, that works [00:58] laga: the lirc is the help file, on my system at least [00:59] If I did mythbuntu-lirc-generator --xine That will ADD to my lircrc file or replace it? [01:00] it will replace them [01:00] I'd just back the folder up [01:00] then regenerate everything [01:00] and piece everything together that you want [01:01] Thats what I will do... How soon until the NEW lircrc creator will be release (heard it will be released with 8.04?) [01:02] Stemming78, sometime in the 8.10 Dev cycle, its getting a new app Mythbuntu Remote Manager [01:05] Right on, this will surely make life easier.... [01:06] Checking the help file for mythbuntu-lircrc-generator; xine, vlc and others should be automatically generated. [01:06] correct [01:07] It is not (only giving me output for mythtv... So, I run this command: mythbuntu-lircrc-generator --xine 1 and still nothing (only mythtv mapping) [01:07] what could I be doing wrong [01:07] Stemming78, they are in included files [01:08] they do not all end up in the same spot [01:08] ~/.lirc/xine for example [01:10] foxbuntu: maybe I'm not following you, but all I have in /.mythtv directory (pertaining to this) is lircrc and lircrc.old... No sub directories. [01:11] Stemming78, its in your home dir [01:11] /home//.lirc/xine [01:12] ~ is /home/ [01:13] no /.lirc directory... lircrc writes to /home//.mythtv [01:15] its not a big deal... Will manually edit the file; probably could have it done by now rather I try for the easy way out... [01:15] * MythbuntuGuest61 stabs Stemming78 violently [01:16] that was....interesting [01:16] yeah - what was that about lol [01:16] * tgm4883_laptop shrugs [01:16] Stemming78: dpkg -l mythbuntu-lirc-generator |grep ^ii [01:16] Im a little surprised [01:18] kids... [01:20] Stemming78, is your system up to date? [01:20] update came through today, havent installed it yet... [01:21] I have 0.17-0ubuntu1~gutsy1 on my gutsy box, and 0.20-0ubuntu1 on my hardy box [01:22] tgm4883_laptop did you see my question earlier? [01:22] no [01:22] k [01:23] I made a mistake and setup a slave BE as its own master.... [01:23] I corrected it but now when I set a program to record every week.... [01:23] everything looks correct but when the program is highlighted... [01:23] it says that the recording is not listed.....when it really is [01:23] and the program doesn't record.... [01:23] I can correct it by re-selecting it on the master.... [01:23] how can I correct the slave BE? [01:23] you have corrected it in mythtv-setup? [01:24] yes...I adjusted the ME address [01:26] what is weird.....I had a program selected to be recorded tonight earlier but it wasn't selected to be recorded [01:27] when it was highlighted to be recorded? [01:28] Cant seem to get it to output for xine or vlc... No biggie... [01:29] wotten_, i think you need to do a dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database on the slave backend. Make sure that is pointed to the right machine (your master backend). It is most likely pointed at your slave machine [01:29] ok ty [01:31] Anyone have a answer/fix to an issue I am having with Video Manager? Everytime I enter it "loading..." appears and remains... Not a huge distraction, but it prevents me from using MANUAL fetch from IMDB [01:31] Unless that was disabled with 0.21 [01:32] Also, the field to rename a movie has been removed; 0.21 update? [01:34] this is what I get... [01:34] william@AMD:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database [01:34] [sudo] password for william: [01:34] Package `mythtv-database' is not installed and no info is available. [01:34] Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, [01:34] and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. [01:34] /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: mythtv-database is not installed [01:34] william@AMD:~$ [01:39] err [01:39] wotten_, my bad. I believe the package is actually mythtv-common [01:39] on the slave [02:03] does the current lirc package take care of setserial for you on serial blasters? [05:43] well, I upgraded to 0.21 and now my frontends won't connect [05:44] how do I go back to 0.20.2 [05:44] perhaps you should try and diagnose the problem first? [05:44] did you upgrade the frontends and the backends? [05:44] I have been trying [05:44] I can't upgrade the frontends [05:44] I'm using xbmcmythtv [05:44] I'm using the latest version [05:44] thats your problem then [05:44] obviously! [05:45] 0.20.2 can't talk to 0.21 [05:45] i know [05:45] that now [05:45] I just read that [05:45] use upnp in xbmc is part of a solution [05:45] otherwise reinstall 0.20.2 and restore the backup of the db that the installer made [05:45] how do I reinstall 0.20.2? [05:46] i don't know how to [05:47] when xbmcmythtv tries to connect to the backend, the backend gives "unknown socket" [05:47] use something like synaptec to remove the old one, then take out the backports sources and reinstall it all [05:47] and then the connection on xbmcmythv fails [05:47] ya, cause 0.21 is protocol 40 [05:47] and thats looking for 31 IIRC [05:47] yeah, I noticed that [05:48] correct [05:48] so, "apt-get remove mythtv"? [05:48] and then remove the backports sources [05:48] I'll try that, thanks [05:49] ya, you should go read around first and make sure you shouldn't be backing some stuff up first though [05:49] just incase things get deleted [05:49] rhpot1991: doing my usual 'dist-upgrade' is what got me in this mess [05:49] good point, thanks [05:50] .21 is nice though, I'd recommend you keep using it and wait for the xbmcmythtv guy to upgrade [05:50] hmm [05:50] I'd like to [05:50] hmm [05:50] depends how badly you need those frontends working [05:50] and how quickly [05:50] it's my only frontend [05:50] last I checked the dude wasn't even answering forums posts [05:50] and its a one man project [05:50] that's exactly what I was reading [05:51] yeah, I'm getting sick of using xbmcmythtv [05:51] try doing upnp though, I think you can access all your media with that [05:51] just not do any of the mythtv stuff [05:51] might be a good temporary solution [05:51] I can access the media over samba [05:51] just fine [05:51] is that what you mean? [05:51] well upnp does that all for you [05:52] pretty much the same end results [05:52] but I can't use the xbmcmythtv frontend, right? [05:52] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/UPnP [05:52] still [05:52] would just be in xbmc [05:52] hmm [05:52] maybe I'll give that a try [05:53] rhpot1991: wait, how will I know what I'm watching if the file names of the mythtv recorded shows are all named weird [05:54] upnp might handle that for you, I'm not really sure [05:54] try it and see, if not you can make a userjob to use the mythrename script in the contrib folder [05:55] is there a way to adjust the screen position? [05:58] has anybody tried irxkeys ? http://frodo.dyn.gno.org/~brettk/irxkeys [06:02] what port does the UPnP server run on? [06:04] nevermind [06:06] oh, wow! [06:06] I got it [06:06] thanks rhpot1991! [06:34] ok.... irxkeys works in sdl games... [07:07] what a nice morning. perfect to set up the new beta. :) [08:22] When my mythbox is doing commercial flagging, watching live tv (or recordings) becomes jumpy. This is on a dualcore machine, and the commflagging doesn't even max out 1 cpu. I assume the jumpiness is from IO congestion. Is there anything I can do about this without having to buy more/faster drives? [08:22] I've tried running 'ionice -c3' on the mythcommflag processes but that didn't seem to help [08:24] i only have this problem with high-def recordings [08:50] anyone know how to get the switch_audio command to work in mplayer? [11:00] good afternoon [11:01] anyone here using the weekly-build script locally (my_build_trunk.sh) in combination with pbuilder that can give me some help? === MythbuntuGuest61 is now known as aSpastic [11:55] If install from a alternative CD..does it still have X? and MCC?? [12:51] aSpastic: you'll have to install mythbuntu-desktop.. X should be there [12:52] laga: can you give me some help with the weeklybuild scripts? [12:52] I want to use those to compile my own version of mythtv with some patches applied to it [12:53] Rigolo: what do you need to know? [12:53] I can compile mythplugins , but mythtv gives an error with a patch in de debian/patches directory [12:54] Rigolo: add that patch to PATCHES_TO_IGNORE.. it's in the script somewhere [12:54] I would like to disable some patches (that can be done from the script) but also add patches [12:54] How can I add patches to debian/patches my self? automagically ofcourse :-) [12:55] I looks like I need to add something to the generate_source_packages script to also include my own patches [12:55] just like the debian patches are added from the bzr repository [12:56] if you want to add patches, i suggest you bzr branch the mythtv-fixes branch, then add your patches (bzr add xx_my_patch.dpatch), then you tell the weekly build scripts about your new repo [12:56] so, you basically do: [12:56] bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mythtv/mythtv/mythtv-fixes [12:56] cd mythtv-fixes/debian/patches/ [12:56] then you read up on dpatch and how to create your own [12:57] then your add that dpatch you've just created to 00list [12:57] then you bzr add your patch [12:57] then you bzr commit to make your changes permanent [12:57] laga..does the diskless thing in MCC auto create and start th tftp server? [12:58] then you set MYTHTV_BZR_BRANCH to your local branch, eg like file:///home/laga/dev/mythtv/packaging/mythtv-fixes [12:58] aSpastic: i hope so. it should be added to /etc/inetd.conf and ientd should be running [12:58] Rigolo: that's a bit complicated, but the proper way of doing things [12:58] laga: thanks ... that was exactly what I was looking for ... [12:59] laga: thanks, will be setting it up tonight [12:59] Rigolo: you can just patch the mythtv source locally, but changes like that tend to vanish once you rm -rf work/ ;) [12:59] aSpastic: let me know how it goes on the forums. [12:59] btw: patches/12_changeset_16483 can be removed .. it is already fixed in the latest revision [12:59] aSpastic: dhcp isn't set up automagically, so you'll have to do it yourself or use that usb stick thingy [12:59] that is the patch that did not apply when I tried to build myth [13:00] Rigolo: you're semi-right on that one.. in ubuntu, we have 0.21 and cherry-pick patches.. so for ubuntu, it's still needed [13:00] just add it to PATCHES_TO_IGNORE [13:00] laga: got that setup on my monowall box, so i am set [13:00] aSpastic: cool [13:01] Rigolo: what patches do you need? [13:01] laga: but the branch is calles mythtv-fixes .. should that then not be mythtv-021 or something [13:01] Rigolo: i'll agree that the branch naming is confusing at best.. [13:01] laga .. the patch from janne from ticket 3640 [13:02] no idea if it works against 0.21-fixes [13:02] it is already 8M old [13:02] good luck :) [13:03] well, you really need that patch in order to use mythtv with dvb-c here on the @home network in .nl [13:03] stupid cable networks :/ [13:04] well, that is debatable ... but I will just start testing that patch and then see what happens [13:04] hopefully I can get it to work, and then see if we can get it fixed in trunk :-) [13:06] laga: I have no experience with bzr, but after I have done my patch and the main repository get's updated, can I just do a bzr up to get the latest version? or will it start to complain about my updates? [13:07] Rigolo: you can try 'bzr up'.. if it complains, use 'bzr mergE' [13:07] s/mergE/merge/ [13:07] that should work, also i regularly f*** up when using bzr ;) [13:08] s/also/although/ [13:08] same applies to english. ;) [13:08] at least you know your regex :-) [13:09] any idea when 0.21-fixes weekly builds will start? [13:09] no.. but i don't see why we shouldn't start uploading them soon [13:09] trunk is to adventures for me .. with the qt4 work still going on [13:09] yes [13:10] the trunk build pushed up last night didn't build properly.. and i won't fix it until trunk stabilizes again [13:10] so the weekly builds will be then 0.21-fixes and trunk .. both for hardy? or do you still plan to also build for gutsy? [13:11] only for hardy [13:12] they don't build out of the box for gutsy anymore :/ [13:12] okee, and btw, is there anything I need to do to update an alpha4 to beta? or is that just the install media that is in beta now? and a simple apt-get update/upgrade is enough [13:13] yes, dist-upgrading should be enough [13:13] okee, I need to dist-upgrade even to move from alpha4 to beta? [13:14] Rigolo: dist-upgrading is always encouraged on 'unstable' distros [13:16] well, I will do that right now then ... let's see what breaks :-) [13:17] Rigolo: if you don't *dist*-upgrade, new packages probably won't be installed.. eg new dependencies [13:18] laga: how does pbuilder deal with that ... there you "just" tell it to use hardy [13:19] Rigolo: sudo pbuilder update AFAIK ;) [13:19] not sure if it dist-upgrades internally [13:19] but the pbuilder chroot is pretty minimal [13:19] laga: does it retreive all the dep packages then each time you compile? [13:21] Rigolo: no, they're saved in a tarball [13:21] not the packages themselves, but the base system [13:21] laga: okee. btw apt-get dist-upgrade does nothing here ... [13:21] no new packages [13:21] Rigolo: you're probably up to date then :) [13:22] I would think so .. so a simple apt-get update/upgrade is enough then :-) [13:22] well, I need to do some shopping ... and then going to work on those patches ... [13:23] I will let you know when it is working ... maybe you can add it to mythtv-fixes .. (most likely not, because you need to hard-code your network id in the source at the moment) [13:23] it's a bank holiday today here ;) [13:23] Rigolo: yeah, i doubt it we're gonna add that :/ [13:24] laga: here the shops are open untill 19:00 .. then on sat they are open .. but closed on sun, some are open on monday ... so you never know what is open when :-) [13:25] good luck then :) [13:26] laga: this weekend I'm away anyway ... just take some days off (although I've been off for the last 5 weeks anyway: changing jobs and using those accrued holidays) [13:26] * Rigolo is shopping [13:36] laga: after install the beta on the server, and make the diskless image...how do i keep both uptodate? [13:54] aSpastic: you can do that in mythbuntu-control-centre.. in the diskless tab, start another mcc instance for the chroot and do you update there, then exit the second MCC and run "commit" in the first one [13:54] committing the changes will take a while [14:00] I've got a combined frontend/backend that I am trying to add another frontend to. I have most things done except for tv playback. I've tried standard and xvmc; both lockup my additional frontend [14:03] thanks laga, sounds easy as [14:04] yay, snow [14:04] s/snow/hail/ [14:10] where r u laga? [14:11] germany [14:20] :( i want snow in Scotland [15:57] I am considering playing around with Mythbuntu, however, I am interested if the installer supports LVM partitioning? [15:57] no [15:57] use the alternate disk [15:57] and then install mythbuntu-desktop [15:58] or use the 8.04 beta which comes with an alternate disk [15:58] EvilGuru, i'd also point out that unless you already have LVM, or need it for some special case, that you could instead use storage groups [15:59] tgm4883_laptop: I also want to use it to hold my music/media files to be served over NFS, so LVM is quite nice for merging multiple disks [16:00] ah [16:01] so you also want to use your music/media disks to capture recordings, or you want to have 1 large drive [16:01] one large drive, which will be used for captured recordings, and my own media [16:02] ok, lvm is probably what you want then. Otherwise storage groups are really great to use [16:02] So I was thinking of 10GB for / and then the remaining space (320 * 2 - 10) for stuff [16:02] although, I am still unsure where I should mount this large LVM drive [16:04] unless you want to change all the default spots for music, movies, recordings, mount it at /var/lib/ [16:04] would that also be a logical place to create a subdirectory such as music/ or movies/ to use as an NFS share? [16:05] well actually, what you would want to do is [16:06] mount the drive at /var/lib/mythtv/ [16:06] inside that dir, you should make dirs of [16:06] recordings [16:06] music [16:06] videos [16:06] those are the dirs that mythvideo, mythmusic and mythtv will use [16:06] EvilGuru, I use one large LVm for everything as well but I mount to /mythtv [16:07] ^^ is another option. But in doing so you will have to change the location of where mythtv and plugins look [16:49] hmmm, mythvideo wants to remove mythdvd [16:51] JThundley: yeah. let it. mythdvd was usurped into mythvideo [16:56] ok, thanks === tgm4883_laptop changed the topic of #ubuntu-mythtv to: Welcome to #ubuntu-mythtv :: MythTV 0.21 is released.

[17:18] yes [17:19] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=730238 [17:20] kewl [17:20] I took the .21 upgrade in Gutsy and it torched my nvidia-legacy drivers soo.. looks like they fixed that in Hardy [17:20] so i have to upgrade to that now I guess [17:20] unless they've fixed it in Gutsy now???? [17:27] hmmm... does a secondary backend need mysql server installed?? [17:27] Or just client [17:35] I am using mythbuntu with mythtv 0.21,I have oneproble,, when streamingvideo withflash I dont get audio. any ideas? [17:36] gandalfcome: you need ffmpeg with libmp3lame enabled [17:36] if you are on gutsy you can get it from medibuntu, if not you have to wait for them to make it available or build it yourself [17:37] yes I'm on gutsy, whats medibuntu [17:39] did you enable the codecs in MCC? [17:40] mythtv controll center? I can only accessthis with mythweb. remote machine. [17:42] can you ssh in? [17:44] yes [17:44] thats a good idea [17:44] opening it now [17:45] add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list "deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ gutsy free non-free" [17:46] then sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade [17:46] and you should get a good version of ffmpeg [17:46] already done [17:46] but still no sound - i also upgraded the ffmpeg.do I need to restart the backend or so? [17:47] do this first [17:47] ffmpeg --version [17:47] and see if it says --enabled libmp3lame anywhere [17:47] yes [17:47] it does [17:47] might want to restart the box and try then if you can [17:47] FFmpeg version SVN-rUNKNOWN, Copyright (c) 2000-2007 Fabrice Bellard, et al.

Is there any other way? [17:48] you can try restarting the backend and apache, but to be honest I'm not sure why its not taking if something needs to be reset or something [17:48] so restarting the box is a safe bet, if you can [18:02] still no sound [18:02] i restarted the box [18:04] I also get error 255 when trying to transcode [18:04] did you try on more than one video [18:04] yes [18:04] and do you have sound with other things [18:04] yes [18:05] google around and see what 255 is, I don't know about that [18:08] i did,imlooking through the log now === MythbuntuGuest76 is now known as chuk === chuk is now known as chuk1 [18:09] is this step still needed for the diskless server with the current beta: [18:09] Download an updated version of the mythbuntu-diskless LTSP plugin: === MythbuntuGuest70 is now known as Troll === Troll is now known as Trollgaard === abarbacci1 is now known as abarbaccia [18:51] My target system is a dual 1Ghz PIII, 512MB RAMBUS, GF4 MX something and a PVR-150 -- will this be quick enough for SDTV recording/playback?

[22:28] Since I moved to Hardy, the display is acting differently and I get error messeages in syslog [22:51] laga are you there? === MythbuntuGuest93 is now known as aSpastic [22:51] is there a way to cue videos to play in sequence? [22:51] like a video playlist? [22:52] yes [22:52] nico: any suggestions how? [22:53] when in the video manager, edit the file, and you can specify the next one to play [22:53] it is not a play list, but more like "when done playing this file, play this one next" [22:53] I think that if the files are named the same and using sequential final numbers it would do it automatically [22:55] thanks. can i set the player to automatically play through folders? [22:56] aSpastic: yes [22:56] graham, I'm not sure [22:56] nico_: no clue :) [22:56] laga! [22:57] laga: so also in the video manager? [22:57] err, sorry. [22:57] * nico_ is battling Nova-T-500 disconnects that reappeared with 2.6.24 [22:58] laga: just about the diskless thing [22:58] graham: you meant nico_? [22:58] aSpastic: yeah [22:58] that card became so stable, back to square 1 [22:58] nico_: the nova t 500 must be a great piece of hardware :/ [22:58] got it booting, but when i click MCC on the server, nothing happens! [22:58] laga, I'm back on the v4l-dvb list, bugging the devs [22:59] aSpastic: you're the second person to report that.. can you run sudo /usr/share/mythbuntu-control-centre/bin/mythbuntu-control-centre, click 'mcc' and give me the output? [23:00] and I am stuck with nvidia, my TV sends crap modelines to my Intel over HDMI :o( [23:00] I am not having a great time with my system ATM [23:00] nico_: are you camelreef? === nico_ is now known as camelreef [23:00] ah [23:00] :) [23:00] sorry [23:01] i get tearing since upgrading to hardy.. i'll have to fix that [23:01] I wuld be happy with tearing [23:01] I think I have lost stability in my DVB-T tuners, and the remote too, on the same board [23:02]
